SUMMARY:Wisdom is the Principal Thing
DESCRIPTION:Manchester artist\, Fiona Donald\, has created an installation of drawings documenting the impermanence of the changing seasons. Initially Inspired by the quote around the dome of the Wolfson Reading Room she has created four large columns and 12 smaller pillars which draw on the rhythmic cycles of time passing. Some capture the immediacy of walking in the landscape\, others focus on objects collected\, picked\, and transported back to her studio in Salford to study and observe. \nYou can view more of Fiona’s work at fionadonald.com and at Fiona Donald | SUITE (suite-studiogroup.co.uk) \nMain image credit: Cherry Whitfield-Donald \nFree – drop in.

SUMMARY:Slate Expectations - Restoring Our Town Hall's roof. Afternoon Lecture.
DESCRIPTION:Slate Expectations – Restoring Our Town Hall’s roof \nOur Heritage Lectures shine a light on the work behind the scenes of the Our Town Hall Project. One of the most complicated elements of the entire building is the roof. Seen from above we get a better perspective of the scale and complexity of it. With 34 huge chimneys\, plus towers\, turrets and decorative elements\, it has thrown up some real surprises and challenges. \nThis lecture will be given by Gareth Richings from Purcell\, the project’s heritage architecture specialists. He’ll give us a detailed description of the roof’s original structure\, discoveries that were made\, how they approached the unknown elements and resulting surprises\, and the progress and successes that are now being made. \nOne of the big things they are doing is making alterations to improve access. This will make the roof easier and safer to maintain in the future; an important contribution to the building’s sustainability and longevity. \nThursday 26 September 2024\, The Performance Space\, Central Library \nPlease book the afternoon or evening lecture. \n12.45pm arrival for a 1pm start (ends 2.15pm) \nThe lecture is free but you’ll need to book your ticket online here. \n  \n
